Since then, he says, he has been in communica- tion with the German government, and he allexes that the embargo placed on Amert- can fruit was solely due to disclosures which he made that California oranges are picked by leprous Chinese and that dried fran is impregnated with dangerous bac- erta +o*+- MADE TEST ON HIMSELF.

The milder weather has caused a per- ceptible diminution in the number of ap- Plications for relief made to the local branch of the Associated Charities. Only a small number of persons applied for aid today, but fully two-thirds of them were refused because of a lack of funds: No cash donations heve been received since the last report. This morning the Army and y Club donated a quantity of underwear for children, which will be im- mediately distributed. There was a committee meeting held yes- terday afterneon at the headquarters of the local branch, 1 st street. Those present were Mr. B. T. Janney, Rev. Chas. Alvin Smith, Superintendent Wilson, Mrs. Gardiner and Mrs. Bowen. The finances of the association were talked over, and in view of circumstances it was deemed necessary to be careful in distributing re- ef, making discrimination in favor of the most deserving only of cases presented. From all reports there is considerable suffering among the canal people—those who make their living en the waterway during the summer months, and who are forced to remain in their boats during the winter period. Though not much has been said this year of the want existing among these people, the condition of affairs is as bad as in any preceding winter, and prepa- rations are now being made to afford relief if possible. Injured by a Fall. Joseph Miller, an aged white man, who is employed on the canal, while walking across the bridge at the foot of Potomac street in the rear of the market house, slipped and fell yesterday. He was picked up and found to be injured on the right side. The patrol wagon conveyed him to the Emergency Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. Brief Mention. Thomas E.

Organization of °74 Listens to Ad- dress by Dr. Whitman, The eighth meeting of the Unity Club, organized in 1874, was held last evening at 419 10th street. Dr. Thomas Calver pre- sided and Dr. Lewis J. Battle act2d as secretary. The feature of the evening was an address by Rev. Dr. B. L. Whitman, president of Columbian University, entitled “Yhe Collzge as a Moral Force.” An amusing comedietta, by Dr. Caive: presented by Mrs. Haywood, Miss and the author. The remainder of the pro- gram comprised piano solos by Miss Mason and Miss Ebert; vocal solos by Miss Bish- op, Dr. Barnes, Miss Ellsworth and Miss Jessica Tabler, and recitations by Miss Buckley and Mr. Haywood. The attend- ance was unusually large, and the meeting was one of the most successful and enter- taining m the history of the organization. In his address Rev. Dr. Whitm&n spoke of the misconceptions and false ideas of collzge life. He referred to the supposed lack of safeguards, remarking that it is the unknown that terrifies. There is danger in college life and college play, according to the speaker, as well as in all walks of life, but thera are safeguards, as well, The speaker next dwelt upon the exist- ence of a notion of attainment at little cost. There is no short cut to wisdom, he sald. wrong conception of Iberty at college was touched upon, and then the de- velopment of the book-worm was treated. There is something beautiful in devoiion to books, said Rev. Dr. Whitman, but there is a danger point at which reading may become a dis2ase. The ends and aims of student endeavor were discussed by the speaker, who spoke of development, capacity, imtensity and culture as among th? elements of educa- tion. Character, he said, ts the soul devel- oped. There are two sides of student life, according to Rev. Dr. Whitman—the man side and the book side, the man sid3 being the most important. Before concluding his interesting address the speaker remarked that the college is the nurs2ry of patriot- ism, and that religious work in college is underestimated because of its unobtrusive- ness. Among those in attendance at the mest- ing were Mrs. E. E. House, Mrs. Collamer, Miss G. Clifford, Mr. and Mrs. M. M: Thomas, Dr. Abbie M. Fulton, Miss Prud- ‘bomme, Dr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Jack, M. A.

THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1898-14 PAGES HYATTSVILLE BOND fssUE. — Special Méeting to Consider Question Held Last Night. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Ma., February 9, 1808, A_ special meeting of the board of tofin commissioners was held last night, in pur- suance to a call signed by Messrs. Walker, Miller and Aman. In the absence of Mr. M. V. Tierney, president_of the board, Mr. Walker was called to the chair. The purpose of the meeting, Mr. Walker stated, was to pass a resolution favoring the amendment of any bill presented to the legislature with reference to the bond- ing of the town and the construction of water works and a partial sewerage, so that the adoption of these measures could be either ratified or rescinded by a majority vote of the legally qualified voters of the village. This resolution was objected to on the ground that yesterday, during the water works hearing before the Prince George's county delegation at Annapolis, an ac- count of which was published in last night's Star, such a resolution was tacked onto the bill about to be presented to the legislature. Mr. Walker thought, however, that the board should be put upon record as being impartial alike to the advocates and opponents to water, sewerage and bonds, and the resolution was declared passed. Some little excitement prevailed when Mr. Miller nominated Mr. Walker as a member of the committee of seven who have charge of the matter of legislation at Annapolis. Clerk Carr stated that Mr. Tierney had already appointed Mr. Clar- ence Wilson, and that his name had been placed in the bill as a member of the im- provement commission. When the question was put Mr. Aman refused to vote, and there being only one active member of the board present besides the chair the mo- tion was lost. Mr. Walker, yielding the chair to Mi Aman, proposed a resolution disapproving of President Tierney’s action in assuming to appoint a member on the water board until an effort had been made, succeeded by failure, to elect such a member. This reso- lution ‘was carried, and the meeting ad- journed, amid a storm of discussion. When seen by a Star reporter last night Mr. Tierney expressed his surprise at the action taken. “The meeting was wholly unnecessary and uncalled for,” said Mr. Tierney. “Re- garding this resolution, I have this to say: At the regular meeting of the board I en- deavored to have a vote taken relative to the election of a member on this commit- tee. Although I held the meeting until 10 o'clock, they refused to vote. In view or the fact that the bill had to go to the lég- islature at once, and that a majority of the board had already consented to Mr. Wil- son's appointment, I exercised my prerog- ative to appoint, and thereupon made Mr. Wilson a member of the committee. An effort was made to have the board elect this member and that effort failed, and it was not until after this that I appointed Mr. Wilson. “The whole scope of this meeting 1s sim- ply ridiculous, for the matters therein dis- cussed have already been settled by the appointment of a gentleman to serve with others on the committee, by the placing of his name in the bill and by the amend- ment made to the bill, leaving the question of bonds, sewerage and water to a vote of the qualified voters of the town. The per- sons calling this meeting are the ones who blocked all action at the regular meeting of the board, when all the members were present.” "The matter forms the main topic of con- versation here today, and heated discus- sions have taken place. The announcement in The Star last night that Senator Clagett would introduce the bill asking authority for the issuance of $25,000 worth of bonds for the water and partial sewerage proposition was greeted with general satisfaction here last night. The advocates of the improvements de- clare that they are perfectly willing to sub- mit the question to a vote after the pas age of the bill, and the opposition forces say this fs all they desire. —_+ THE SOUTHERN RELIEF BALL. It Promises to Be a Most Delightfud and Notable Affair. If all indications do rot fail, the proaching annual ball of the Southern Re- lief Society next Friday evening at Na- tional Rifles’ Armory will be-an event to be classed among the most brilliant and notable of the season. It is without ques- tion that those of preceding years have been so universally popular and successful that succeeding ones are anticipated with an eager interest from the fil announce- ment of date.

Judge Kimball of the Police Court had two young men before him this morning who had been arrested because of their intemperate habits. The defendants were Two In- Daniel Linski, twenty-one years old, and Robert Thackeray, whose age was given as sixteen years. Both had been in court before. Linski had been before Judge Kimball on one occasion as an alleged habitual druukard, and had been put un- der bonds for his good behavior. But his court expericnce had not effected a refo mation, for the police reported that they had seen him drunk a number of times this year. The young man said today he could not tell just how m times he had been drunk, Last night he went in a saloon and ordered a bottle of beer, which was furnished, and when the bartender refused to give him 2 second bottle, he beeame angry and smashed a window. ¥ The court imposed a penalty of $5 or fifteen days in the case of breaking the window, and required him to give bond in the sum of $100 or go down for ninety days on the vagrancy charge. Then the younger defendant was called. "ve been In the work house once,” h said, “and I don’t want to go there again. “How many times have you been ar- rested on this charge?” “Twice,” he replied, “but I wasn’t drunk the last time.” “How much had you drunk?” “Only one beer.’” ‘The judge told him he had made an early start and a terrible record, and that wi- less he stcps drinking right away he may expect to fill a drunkard’s grave before he is of age. “What do you intend to do now?” ’'m willing to do what's right, if given a chance.” The judge told him he could make his own chance by refraining from the use ot strong drink, ‘The boy’s personal bonds were taken. ———— Republican Club Organized.

Blakely, wife of John Blakely, publisher of the Evening Star, and daughter of the late George R. Young, died at her home in Philadelphia yester- day afternoon, after a long illness. She was noted in charitable and church circles for her benevolence and piety. | Mrs. Blakely was the elder sister of Li- brarian John Russell Young and of Con- gressman James Rankin Young. She leaves two daughters and five sons, one of whom is an ensign in the navy and one a lieuten- ant at West Point. soo Circumstances Against Him. James Ashire, colored, with his black suit of clothes covered with whitewash and his nerves all unstrung, was the leader of | Judge Kimball's procession this morning. | “I've got a lawyer,” he said, when Clerk | Pctts called upon him to answer to a charge of disorderly conduct. Counsel was called, and the cecded. In the first place, it was stated that James was drunk last night, and when Policeman Garvey arrested him he indulged in some profanity. his man,” said the policeman, “was staggering through Glick’s alley, and when 1 spoke to him he didn’t know where he lived. 1 told him to go home, and he said Le’a be —— — if he would.” ‘Didn't you punch kim to make him swear?" counsel asked, “No. sir,” the officer replied. “The man was drunk and profane of his own free will.” it developed that the officer had put the ma&n oui of a house in West's alley, where be was causing trouble, earlier in the night, and James was under the impres- zion that he was locked up at that time. “Were you drunk?” the court asked him. “No, sir,’ be answered. ‘Tell the truth,” his counsel told him. “You know you were drunk, and why don't you say 80?” “I wasn’t drunk,” explained the prisoner, “but 1 had been drinking. e “If you think you were arrested in the hous add2d the judge, “you must have been very drunk, for the officer says he arrested you an hour afterward.” ‘The court held the prisoner guilty, and imposed a fine of $3, — Penalty for Loitering. Frank Earl, a young man who came here early in the winter, and who apparently liked the city so well that he decided to re- main, even if he had to live in prison, re- fused to take Judge Kimball's advice and leave the city when he was r2leased from the workhouse. This morning he was again in court on complaint of Policeman Gover. The policeman’s charge was that the young man had been loitering about sa+ loons ever sinca he was released, “Didn't I take your bond to leave the city?” Judge Kimball asked. “Yes, sir,” he answered, “but every time I start I fall in the hands of the police.” “That's your own fault,” he was told. “You may hav> thirty days, and when you get out don’t let any grass grow under rour feet between the workhouse and the strict line.” ——— Reyly to a Coi aint. Replying to a complaint made by Mn Thomas O’Brien of Brightwood respecting the condition of the streets in Brightwood Park, the District Commissioners today in- formed him that, although the number of streets in the suburban sections opened during the past ten years have been very great, the appropriation made for repairing them is no larger now than it was ten years ago. As that appropriation provides the only fund for repairing such streets, the Commissicners explain that it ts im- ible for them to maintain the streets good repair except in those instances where Congress makes special appropria- tions therefor. —_.—_— * .
